What is the difference between this brummel splice and a regular eye splice? Seems in both you pass each through the other and form an eye, then bury the tail? Are they the same just called different names?
No there is a difference... the regular eye splice the bitter end passes through the line a few times. The brummel is different... try Tami's example.. .it is much easier than the second link (its hard to pull the knots through the hole and then open them up again as in the second example) and will show the differece very well....
